Man, What a great time ........ If you missed it you missed out on a lot of fun. Among other things, I picked up a new respect for WRX Turbos and Eclipes Turbos.
For those who were racing, traction was at a premium. When the track temps are around 40 degrees its a little hard to get a bit. The GTP's were struggling a bit more than we were but it was still very easy to over power the track.
After making several passes, (Some of us more than others), we picked our dial-ins and it was on with the match racing.
We went into the event not expecting to do very well as the GTP's have a 1 second plus advantage on us. (All of them had at least 14's in the windows). But thanks to handicaping we were given a fighting chance.
It seemed like there were more red lights in Earlville this morning than there were at OJ's chase in California several years ago, and by the third round it was down to two GTP's and Three T-Birds. (One was a V8 LX .... Ata-boy Tony)!
In the end the final round went to yours truly when Tony donated it with a red-light at the starting line.
(Hey, I'm not proud, I'll take it any way I can get it). :eek:
On behalf of our club, we would like to thank the Iowa GTP club and Tri-State Raceway in Earlville for a day of fun at the track.
We enjoyed meeting the GTP'ers and we are looking forward to hanging out with them again soon. We will be checking the calendar and we will be posting the date for the next round of fun at Earlville so STAY TUNED!!!!
